• Report, December 31, 2021

In July 2020, the Maryland Efficient Grant Application Council was authorized by the General Assembly (Chapters 484 & 485, Acts of 2020) Its membership was reconstituted in July 2024 (Chapters 28 & 29, Acts of 2024).

For State use in grant-making, the Council considers how to adapt certain parts of the federal Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (uniform guidance), with any necessary modifications. The uniform guidance is meant to simplify administration for grant recipients and help prevent waste and fraud. To these ends, creating uniform grant application forms, financial controls, and reporting requirements is studied by the Council along with uniform performance progress reporting requirements.

The Council recommends to the Department of Budget and Management timeframes and deadlines for creating and adopting uniform application forms, deadlines for their use and implementation, and deadlines for grant-making entities to administer State and federal grants in accordance with the uniform guidance.

To interpret policy requirements and ensure effective implementation of uniform guidance, the Department of Budget and Management provides technical assistance to the Council.

Twenty-four members constitute the Council. The Secretary of Budget and Management serves as Chair (Chapters 28 & 29, Acts of 2024).

Authorization for the Council ends June 30, 2029.
